Answer 1

Answer: India would not be able to govern itself in the modern world without the British.

Explanation:

The British ruled India for the better part of a century and during that time, India was their most populated and important colony and they made sure to rule it as actively as they could which is why when the Indians began demanding independence, there were some that did not approve.

Winston Churchill was one of those. He believed that if the British were to stop governing India, it would go back to a state of barbarism and anarchy. The British people who thought like him therefore believed that British rule in India was necessary for it to remain stable as India could not govern itself.
